Home Renovations & Additions
We modernize homes for how you live now, upgrading energy performance, improving flow, and adding resilient finishes suited to Pebble Beach’s coastal climate and WUI considerations. Permit sets and Title 24 forms are prepared in-house and coordinated with the County.
- Kitchen & bath remodels: Space-planning, custom cabinetry, ventilation, and moisture control for healthy, efficient kitchens and spa-grade baths.
- Whole-home updates: Flooring, lighting, insulation, electrical, and HVAC reworks to bring older homes to current code and comfort standards.
- Window/door upgrades: High-performance assemblies and WUI-rated products installed to manufacturer specs for coastal durability and energy savings.
- Exterior refresh: Siding, stucco repairs, roofing, and decks designed for salt-air exposure and wildfire ember resistance.
- Structural reconfigurations: Wall removals with engineered beams, seismic upgrades, and load-path corrections for safer, more open living.
- Room/second-story additions: Harmonized massing, elevations, and tie-ins that meet setbacks and height rules; permit + Title 24 energy forms included.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
Whether you’re adding family space or long-term rental income, Aldridge Construction designs ADUs that fit your lot, meet codes, and complement your home’s architecture, while addressing coastal and water considerations unique to Pebble Beach.
- Detached ADUs: Purpose-built units optimized for four-foot side/rear setbacks and WUI materials, with 16–20 ft height pathways depending on site conditions.
- Attached ADUs: Seamless connections that respect front setbacks and match the main home’s massing, finishes, and fire-separation requirements.
- Over-garage ADUs: Smart ways to add living area; conversions can retain existing footprints, and replacements often keep four-foot setbacks above the garage.
- Garage conversions: Fast-track additions leveraging existing structures; replacement of primary-unit parking is typically not required under state law.
- JADUs: Cost-effective internal suites with efficiency kitchens, delivered to current state standards and County requirements.
- Geotech reports when triggered: We coordinate soils and structural reports when the site, slope, or scope requires it, keeping approvals on track.
Pebble Beach ADU Requirements
Here’s how the essentials shake out for ADUs in Pebble Beach (Del Monte Forest area), with coastal and water-district nuances addressed early in our process.
Predesigned County ADU Plans
Monterey County offers predesigned ADU plan sets with multiple floor plans and two exterior styles, which can shorten design time and reduce soft costs; we’ll verify eligibility for your parcel and adapt site-specific details.
Parking, Short-Term Rentals & Occupancy
State ADU rules typically cap parking at one space, and garage-conversion parking replacement is often waived; for short-term rentals in the coastal zone, new County rules restrict unhosted rentals, with Pebble Beach units among those affected.
Utilities & Entries
Detached ADUs require independent life-safety systems and utility coordination; we separate mechanical systems and prepare energy documents to current Title 24 standards, including solar for new detached ADUs.
Setbacks & Fire-Safety
California law and County code allow four-foot side and rear setbacks for most ADUs, subject to fire and life-safety clearances; we specify WUI-rated assemblies and coordinate with fire officials for access and sprinklers when required.

Permits We Handle for You
Aldridge Construction permit sets package design, energy, and agency coordination into one managed workflow. We handle submittals, plan check responses, and scheduling so approvals move forward cleanly and your build stays predictable from start to finish.
Coastal & Historic Overlays (As Applicable)
In Pebble Beach and Del Monte Forest, we verify Coastal Zone status and whether a Coastal Development Permit or exemption applies. Our team aligns with Monterey County and Local Coastal Program criteria to protect views, habitat, and neighborhood character.
Water & Environmental
We engage the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District early to confirm water availability, credits, and capacity fees. Fixtures, appliances, and site measures are right-sized to conserve usage, support approvals, and streamline environmental compliance.
Home Renovation/Additions
For remodels and additions, we produce Title 24 energy documents and coordinate structural, fire, and accessibility requirements. Aldridge Construction experts manage plan review comments and inspection sequencing so compliance is clear and the schedule risk stays low.
ADU/JADU Express Route
Pebble Beach addresses are in unincorporated Monterey County, not an incorporated city, so we route ADU and JADU packages directly through County channels. Where eligible, we leverage predesigned plans and state timelines to accelerate review.
Our Design-Build Process
Built around clear milestones and accountability, our design-build method controls scope, cost, and risk from day one. You get a single accountable team, synchronized schedules, and decisions backed by real pricing and constructability reviews.
Consultation & Site Feasibility
We review goals, budget, parcel constraints, WUI, utilities, and coastal or water factors, then map a realistic path with options and allowances. Early checks flag red flags, saving redesign time and protecting approval timelines.
Concept Design & Budget
You see plan concepts, elevations, and finish palettes aligned to target costs and site standards. We validate setbacks, height, structural pathways, and energy compliance before drafting the permit set, preventing surprises during plan check.
Permitting & Approvals
Our team prepares complete application packets, including architectural sheets and Title 24 forms, and coordinates directly with County, MPWMD, and fire officials. We address plan check comments quickly and keep approvals moving forward without delays.
Construction
Licensed crews and vetted subcontractors execute per specifications with WUI-appropriate materials and verified installation methods. Inspections are scheduled ahead, site communication is proactive, and weekly updates keep progress, budget, and decisions fully transparent.
